Looks freshly made near the summit, too.
Here is Rancho Jamau (1 mile from bottom of summit #3) on April 11, 1960:

EDIT: RANCHO JAMAU is 1 mile up the canyon:

I just got off the phone with Roy (The Squarecircle) and he wants to put a group together to investigate summit#3. I suggested the weekend of May 30,
but I'm open to other dates.
Anyone interested? 4x4ABC, Fernwell, DK.

That pic of Bud Bernard is giving me incentive to urge Nancy Smith, the widow of Myron Smith (and Brooks' mom), to convert all of Myron's old slides
to digital, or let Brooks or me do it. Myron went on lots of trips with Bud and most of those were the on east sides of the Sierra Juarez and San
Pedro Martir. His first trip to Baja was in 1938 with his dad when they had to pulled across the Rio Santo Domingo in San Quintin with a team of
horses because of the heavy rains that year.......so some pics could be gold.

Hi Harald, I just posted the location as given by Gulick. He has a photo up on top, just west of the summit, he calls Rancho el Alamito...

Maybe... it is the weekend after Memorial Day (May 25), when we traditionally take our first trip of the season to Shell Island. Sadly, the moon is in
quarter phase, meaning no big high and low tides.

Second photo at Jamau Cattle Camp... Gulick says "near old pole line road"...
This jives with Gulick's notes that this is the end of the trail if you turn right (eastbound) at the Y (Jamau Y).

Greetings All >>>> It
has been about 30 years since I have been into "Cowboy Canyon" and the shack at the lower end of #3 summit. Back then the idea was to complete the
route with a 4X4 trail past the shack and up the mountain to M3. It would have been another way out of Desierto. With all the new interest in the pole
line road, this could be an interesting adventure. Have been at the lower shack several times both from the top and lower side. It is not an easy
blaze thru>>Maybe 100 yds. mas/menos.>>> Are there any adventurous Nomads to go there and take a look???? Best regards, sq.

Great to see you posting Roy! I hope there is interest in going. I may not be available for a bit, but I hope if there is a trip there, plenty of
photos will be taken!
Question: To get to that lower shack from the top, you hiked to it from the end of the top road, right?

Wrong>>>> To get to the lower shack from the top was a slow. 4X4 hard drive in! Some spots were narrow and dangerous and not easy like
the Pole Line road! With the passage of all these years and little traffic and interest that route surely has not mended itself. >>>>>
Regards,sq.

OK, thanks Roy...
On the phone with Roy... and confirm the road was NOT passable from the desert to the top of the mountain. The shack of the Gulick photo (55 years
ago) is 1 mile from the bottom of the canyon (1.8 from the Pole Line Road "Left at Y").

David, got your message. No, that is not me, my last name is Flynn. I climbed the mountain with Bud Bernhard in about 1957 or '58. Enjoying these
photos.
